Adequate Seats, Belts May Have Saved Lives In NY Crash
Despite severe damage, rear portions of the passenger compartment remained relatively intact, maintaining space for occupants to survive.
The U.S government has told a California court that it has serious concerns about a civil rights issue raised against Uber Technologies Inc., alleging discrimination against blind passengers.
The U.S Justice Department said Tuesday that the TNC company’s attempt to dismiss the case may be based on a “misunderstanding” about the Americans With Disabilities Act. The department has asked a federal judge in San Francisco to consider its view before deciding whether to throw the case out.
In the statement, the U.S. Justice Department says “The United States’ interests are particularly strong here,” because the case against the on-demand car service “goes to the very heart” of the ADA’s goal “to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living and economic self-sufficiency” for people with handicaps.
Uber’s request for dismal is “ambiguous” says the filing, because the company appears to argue that its service isn’t a “public accommodation.” But the U.S. Justice Department points out that issue is not something that needs to be considered when determining if Uber violated the ADA or not. According to the document from the department, there are provisions under the Department of Transportation that cover taxi and other demand responsive transportation services under Title III of the American With Disabilities Act.

| about 5 years agoThis a perfect opportunity to contact the USDOJ attorneys and ask them to amend 3:14-cv-04086-NC to include the criminal violations of the RICO ACT, Violations of the IRS TAX CODE and the Department of Labor misclassification Uber is placing on its employees as I/Cs. Since CONTROL is the major criteria used by the IRS and DOL, clearly, the classification is Uber is an employer and the driver is an employee. Uber controls every transport portal to portal including the money. As we all know Uber is defrauding the US Government by evading payroll taxes and corporate taxes.Their continued fraudulent self-proclaimed cry of being only an app with no employees must stop here. Other Federal violations include, the Federal Trade Commission Act, The FAA act, the SEC Act, The FCC Act, and certainly violations of the USDOT and FMSAC agencies. I ask each of you to email such requests to : [email protected] and [email protected] Thank you.
